Shall I compare thee to a summer's day...
Far from the madding Crowd's ignoble Strife...
Emma felt the tears running down her cheeks...
I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered...
Move him into the sun...

English literature may very well be the greatest body of imaginative writing the world has yet seen. The human experience has been understood, interpreted and conveyed by writers of genius in a tradition stretching through six or more centuries, from Chaucer to Philip Larkin, from Defoe to William Golding. Here, accompanied by a wealth of examples, is the story of a literature that has touched the hearts and stirred the minds of countless readers through the ages.

Under Milk Wood

Peter Cartledge from Shropshire - 04 Feb 2007

The original BBC recording is much better than this. Five star has gone down to three only. Why? Because those who know about these things have decided to gild the lilly. They added background muzak to an already perfect recording and so spoiled it. It really does not need music; the spoken words by Burton are sufficiently wonderful without the distraction of of the awful 'muzak'. The town is supposed to be quiet, dead quiet, when sleeping. Instead we have noise. Muzak noise. Buy the BBC original, its MUCH better.
